Washing the lint trap
New to this forum, but wanted to reply to this.
For many years now I have washed my lint trap screen. Some say this does no good, but I know it does. Take that screen out, and try to run water through it. does it puddle or just run straight through? If it puddles before going through your screen needs washed. If water cannot get through easily air is not as well.
Take it to your kitchen sink (or bathtub), use a sponge and either dish soap or shampoo (both work) coat the entire screen with a lttle soap, then rinse well.
try running water through again, and presto it will run right through. this will help cut your drying time, because of better air flow.
I have never had to replace a dryer heating element at all, and our clothing drys quickly.
